Are Ding kings the best bet to remove dents...

Ok... I have a dent that caves in right near the driver's side and it's at the frame rail (where you can jack up your car ). I was wondering if any one ever tried this stuff and if there worth the money and if they work. If there not worth anything i guess i would go to the bodyshop or here some better ways and I don't have to drill the hole out. Thanks for the help and some advices.....

Try Paintless dent removal. I think they charge about $99 per panel.

I had one of them show up and he could not remove the ding. Also, he created a convex ding from the inside out and cracked my paint. The hilarious thing was the dude informed me, "You don't have to pay me if you don't want to since I couldn't remove the ding." Did he think I was going to pay him for trying?

I've seen people swear by it, I dunno if it's just another one of those placebo effects. Your comment seems more realistic and truthful when compared to my experience with the PDR.

PDR may drill holes, but they wont be visible to the naked eye, they hide them well
